Checks on this result

  • Matched observation datesPassed

    All three paths use the same supplied evaluation dates; boundaries and counts match.

  • Exact wealth reconciliationPassed

    Every observed value equals cash + receivables + shares marked at the supplied close, with exact cent rounding.

  • Trade fee totalsPassed

    Each path’s reported fees equal the sum of its execution fees.

  • Prior-close signal timingPassed

    Each recorded strategy signal precedes its execution at the next supplied close. This checks timing, not whether every signal is correct.

  • Ending-return arithmeticPassed

    Returns match ending wealth and starting cash within 1e-10 percentage points.

  • Independent Python replayNot run

    No independent replay receipt is attached to this report. Project test results do not certify an individual report.

Assumptions

  • 3-observation moving average; long or cash; previous-close signals execute at the next supplied close.
  • 0.10% fee and 0.05% adverse slippage per trade.
  • No borrowing, shorting, cash interest, taxes, forced final sale or dividend reinvestment. Dividends remain nonspendable receivables.
  • Earlier and later periods each restart with initial cash. Repeated trials can overfit the later period.

What remains uncertain

  • These checks establish internal consistency only. They do not authenticate prices or events, establish trading skill, or predict future returns.
  • Exchange-session completeness is not assessed. A gap may be a weekend, holiday or missing observation; no prices are filled in.
  • Source labels and fingerprints are references, not signatures or independent authentication. These checks do not replay the trading strategy.
  • Risk describes supplied observation intervals without annualization, liquidity, market-impact or survivorship corrections.
  • This summary omits raw price inputs and private source labels. Its consistency checks were calculated against the frozen private inputs; this redacted summary cannot independently replay the full experiment.

Longest gap: 3 calendar days. Exchange-session completeness is not assessed.
